Introduction
The European Federation of the
Associations of Dietitians (EFAD) was
established in 1978 and its role is to promote
and develop dietetics on a scientific and
professional level in the common interest of
the member associations.
In 2018, EFAD had 33 National Dietetic
Association (NDA) Members, representing
over 35,000 dietitians in 29 European
countries and 38 Education Associate
Members (HEI), covering an additional two
EU countries.
The European Dietetic Action Plan
(EuDAP) 2015-20201, launched by EFAD in
October 2015, is a commitment by dietitians
throughout Europe to take actions that will
achieve better nutrition and sustainable
health, through pro-active engagement with
Health 2020 2 and the European Food and
Nutrition Action Plan (FNAP) (2015-2020)3.
The action plan is designed to harness the
power of collaboration among NDA’s and
HEIs, to work together, proudly talk about
and circulate the yearly EuDAP report to all
key stakeholders at their national level e.g.
Ministers of Health. The EuDAP contains five
key objectives, based on the FNAP. These
objectives may be achieved at national,
organisation or local level; recognising the
contribution that dietitians make at all levels
of society.

sustainable.
2. Promote the gains of a healthy diet and nutritional support throughout the life course,
especially for the most vulnerable groups in clinical settings and the community.
3. Use dietitians as educators and experts in community and clinical settings to advise
the general population, other health professions, authorities (for example ministries,
health insurance companies), mass media and industry.
4. Invest in establishing the effectiveness of dietitians in the delivery of better health
through improved nutrition.
5. Strengthen governance, alliances and networks for a health-in-all-policies approach.
Introduction

This year’s progress report is the third in a
series that will document progress on EuDAP
and EFAD’s strategic plan, adopted in 2015.
This report is structured around the
objectives of EuDAP. The data in this report
are based on European dietetic activities
from 2018, which were collected in 2019
EuDAP Survey.
This report will be used to help drive our
common focus on facilitating collaboration
between European dietitians and allow
EFAD to catalogue dietetic activities /
initiatives for use by NDA’s and HEIs.
EuDAP Survey 2019
Participants
Five hundred and six dietitians, from 30 different countries, completed the online questionnaire
with questions regarding their activities in the year 2018. The respondents represented 30
different NDAs and 31 HEIs (Annex, Figures 4-5).
Respondents of EuDAP Survey 2019 represent a variety of dietetic specialisations, as presented
in Figure 1. It gives a good insight into European dietitians work, which is not only centered
around clinical dietetics.

Results
Individual members reported the work that dietitians are doing to meet EuDAP objectives and
therefore also the objectives of the FNAP. There were 165 initiatives reported. Some of them
were funded research projects others were projects and activities, which dietitians undertake
locally or nationally. Many of the activities involved other stakeholders and therefore allowed
dietitians to share their nutritional expertise and contribute to policy or further initiatives, which
will improve health through better nutrition.
EuDAP Survey 2019 confirmed that European dietitians are following the life-course approach
to the prevention and control of diet related NCDs and malnutrition in all its form. As suggested
by FNAP4 the approach starts by addressing maternal nutritional status and health before and
during pregnancy and continues with proper infant feeding practices, including promotion of
breastfeeding. Action to encourage healthy diets for children, adolescents and young people is
reinforced and sustained by promotion of a healthy diet during the working life, nutrition for
healthy ageing and nutritional care for elderly people (Figure 2).

Figure 2. Activities of the European dietitians according to targeted audience
EuDAP Survey 2019 results represent only a small number of projects being undertaken by
dietitians in Europe but they already cover a range of activities from all EuDAP objectives
(Figure 3.).
Figure 3. Activities of the European dietitians collected in 2019 EuDAP Survey assigned
to the EuDAP objectives
The results from EuDAP Survey 2019 show that EFAD members have different projects to work
on, under the five objectives (Annex, Table 1.). The variety within European dietitians initiatives
and differences between every country’s actions are a very important data which can and should
be shared and used by other members.
Further chapters provide some examples for each objective reported by dietitians.

Scope: COSI is a unique system to measure trends in overweight and obesity among primary
school aged children. Activities in Portugal - regional coordination of the Programme in the
Public Health Department of the Northern Regional Health Administration. Activities in Greece
- data collection from 35 municipalities in Greece and data management of all results throughout
Greece.
Results -Portugal: In the 5th round COSI Portugal, held during the school year 2018/2019, 7210
children between 6 and 8 years old from 228 participating schools were evaluated. This
sample is the largest of all phases so far. According to preliminary data from the 5th phase of
COSI Portugal, a child nutrition surveillance system integrated in the WHO / Europe
Childhood Obesity Surveillance Initiative study, from 2008 to 2019 there was a reduction of
8.3% (37.9% to 29.6%) and 3.3% (15.3% to 12.0%) in the prevalence of overweight and
childhood obesity, respectively.

Conclusions
The purpose of the EuDAP Survey is to ensure information exchange between the NDA’s and
HEIs in different countries on how they are contributing to the EuDAP objectives whilst also
encouraging a methodical approach to data collection and data storage and systematic analysis.
EuDAP is designed to position dietitians as valuable and effective health professionals that can
contribute to improved health outcomes across patient groups from birth to old age and
noteworthy examples and projects from across the European Region have been identified in this
report, to inform policy and practice. The capability and capacity for dietitians to make a
difference in many countries and at local, national or European level is not always recognised
or valued for many diverse reasons. EuDAP is therefore designed to be a mechanism for NDA’s
to encourage and enable their dietitians to demonstrate to key stakeholders their ability to make
a significant impact in a ‘political language’ recognised by governments, employers and others.
This report provides confirmation that EFAD does have sufficient ‘evidenced information’ to
provide key stakeholders at European or NDA/HEI level with information about the profession
and dietitians contribution to implementing FNAP.
FNAP 2015-2020 suggests that „Member States should work together to develop common tools,
share experiences, improve the availability of data and enhance capacity for monitoring and
surveillance” and the EuDAP is exactly responding to those needs. The EuDAP Survey is giving
better results every year and we hope that it will become the tool which will be commonly used
by EFAD members.
EFAD’s further steps will include the creation of widely available European dietitians’ activities
database, which will be used by EFAD members to learn from each other to work even better
for the shared vision of a European Region in which the negative impacts of preventable diet-
related NCDs and malnutrition in all its forms – including overweight and obesity – have been
dramatically reduced, and all citizens have healthier diets throughout their lives.
